Exactly, it’s giving me big nostalgia flashbacks to the pre-reddit days. I was on SU so much for years, used the social communities, and was pretty excited to discover reddit. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years, ouch

I’m obsessed with the one I got https://www.stinkymeat.net/stinkymeat/day1/

A guy dropped raw meat on a plate in his neighbors lawn and documented the decomposition.

As I read, I found myself tilting my phone back more and more to get the photos as out-of-focus as possible while still being able to read. By the time the hot dogs vanished, I found myself unable to continue.

I salute this person’s dedication to scientific discovery, but I could smell those photos through the screen. Nope.

A steak, what appears to be maybe 2lbs of ground beef and a half dozen hotdogs for $7.31…

That would easily cost me $30 today!

After the first few days I realized: I have been to this site before. Easily over a decade or more ago.

I stopped at day 17. Not sure if it goes farther, but that was a rough one.

I went in for seconds and landed here: http://firedrake.org/roger/csarchive/universe/states.htm This is sooo cool and I don’t even know what it is! Has anyone heard of Crimson Skies computer game??

Its premise seems to be that America failed. The link took me to the write-ups of what happened to the states. Example: “Montana and Wyoming have largely fragmented. All government is local, and the locals seem determined to keep it that way. The population is completely disgusted with national government and aims to show that local government can perform far better than any distant bureaucracy. Portions of Wyoming and Montana have been claimed by other states, but by and large this is the most lawless and best armed stretch of the West.”
Another: “The bulk of Nevada is desert, not even worth the effort of laying claim to. Most of the inhabitants southeast of the Sierra Nevadas are desert air pirates, scrub ranchers, and rattlesnakes.”

Not gonna lie…it got me at Air Pirates!

Crimson skies was an awesome dieselpunk arcade plane game. It’s owned by Microsoft and the second game was a hit on the Xbox. I still have a copy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_Skies:_High_Road_to_Revenge

All those faction names are so amazing. Nation of Hollywood and Industrial States of America go hard.
